Wild About WellTrim®: The Science Behind Trim Tea

Posted On February 8, 2018

By now, you’ve heard of the TLS® Weight Loss product that took Market America by storm in 2017. You may have even ordered a box (or three!) for yourself + seen just why it’s been so popular! Like all of our TLS® products, Trim Tea was formulated using ingredients chosen based on scientific research. We’re going to take a peek behind the curtain and see why the featured ingredient – WellTrim® iG – is all the rage in the weight loss industry.

What is WellTrim?

WellTrim is the name given to IGOb131. This is the novel seed extract of the traditional West African plant named Irvingia gabonensis. This fleshy West African fruit is common in traditional Nigerian and Cameroonian cuisine, but you may know it by it’s more common name – African Mango.

How Does It Work?

In a study published in Lipids in Health and Disease, WellTrim was found to favorably impact adipogenesis through a number of metabolic pathways including PPAR gamma, leptin, adiponectin, and glycerol-3 phosphate dehydrogenase. You can find the breakdown of this study below:

The Study:

Researchers studied 102 healthy, overweight and/or obese (those with a BMI of over 25 kg) volunteers who were randomly divided into two groups. In a double-blind fashion, Group 1 was given a daily 150 mg dose of WellTrim while Group 2 was given a matching placebo. These doses were administered two times per day, 30–60 minutes before lunch and dinner. At baseline, 4, 8, and 10 weeks of the study, subjects were evaluated for changes to include fasting lipids, blood glucose, C-reactive protein, adiponectin, and leptin.

During the course of the study, no dietary intervention or physical activity program was given. In fact, participants were told to maintain their current diet and physical activity levels! To give you an idea of how the participants ate, see the mean daily energy intakes for each group below:

WellTrim Group

2767 ± 187 calories per day

Carbohydrates: 56%

Protein: 29%

Fat: 15%

Placebo Group

3156 ± 185 calories per day

Carbohydrates: 56%

Protein: 29%

Fat: 15%

The Results:

At the beginning, there were no significant differences found in the weight of the participants recruited for the study. By the end, however, the same was not true. Significant changes were found in body weight, circumference, and body fat percentages. The WellTrim® group lost 28 pounds, decreased their body fat by 6.3%, waist by 6.7″, fasting blood sugar by 22.5%, cholesterol by 26%, and LDL by 27%! On top of that, there were also noticeable improvements in plasma total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, blood glucose, C-reactive protein, adiponectin and leptin levels.

What It Means:

In conclusion, Welltrim® iG was shown to successfully reduce body weight, body fat, and waist circumference over time. When administered to healthy, overweight and obese individuals, this ingredient led to weight loss, fat loss, and a noticeable improvement in metabolic parameters associated with insulin resistance with no change in diet or exercise! It’s important to note that the mechanism behind Welltrim’s weight loss lies in metabolic repair and increase of the hormone Adiponectin. This took more than 4 weeks to occur. This is why, based on the 10-week study, we recommend taking the TLS® Trim Tea daily for 10 weeks to see desired results.

The new TLS® Trim Tea will include this well-researched ingredient to target satiety, appetite control, and metabolic balance. WellTrim® is a kosher certified, Hala certified, and natural three-pronged approach to weight loss that now comes in a convenient + portable package!
